Happy Birthday to Ryan Wieber—our favorite Jedi Master behind the lens! From dazzling us with legendary lightsaber duels in your epic fan films, to working real Star Wars magic at LucasFilm and stunning gamers worldwide with "Star Wars: Republic Commando," you've definitely shown those Stormtroopers who's boss.Another orbit completed around our galaxy far, far away—and you're still proving special effects artists have more fun. May your day be free from Death Stars' exhaust ports, overly-dramatic Sith Lords, and rendering crashes. Keep amazing us by turning dreams into cinematic gold; may creativity always flow like The Force!
